Better With Audio:

Each post this month is set to a different track from this amazing album. “East” is a contemplation of the mindset of a child and what the world turns the into as an adult.

I set out to rule the worldWith only a paper shield, and a wooden swordNo mountain destined in my wayEven the oceans tremble in my way

I make no secret of the fact that Link from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is my favorite character in all of video games. He’s even the character I main in Super Smash Bros. On a superficial level, that may come as a surprise. He’s just a young kid — a very awkward, expressive kid at that. I’ll admit I was shocked in my moment of self-discovery about my favorite video game character. The more I think about it, however, the more it makes sense.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that Wind Waker is a game for kids. By featuring a protagonist so young and applying the notoriously cartoony cell-shaded graphical style, the designers did an incredibly effective job of hiding the mature and nuanced story within.

Are you a blogger? Do you like The Legend of Zelda? Then pay attention.
If not, you’re free to go. Here’s a post about having an overactive imagination.

I’m working on a large feature collaboration post, tentatively titled Hyrule: See the Sights! Hear the Sounds! Basically, I’m trying to make a tour guidebook of Hyrule, with different bloggers each telling their story of their favorite locations. Just like the locations in Zelda, each section will have their own flavor and it’s own writer. Why not let one of those writers be you? Of course, you’ll get credit and links to your blog. You really don’t have to have played much Zelda at all to do it, you just need a good memory or two from the land of Hyrule!
